Greetings and peace be with you all,

Voices for justice and peace need to be heard from millions of people, in the hope of influencing justice for the poor and the oppressed. Over two hundred thousand have signed this petition, please add your name, if you feel Israel has been unjust.

I've just signed this petition at Avaaz.org:

We call for an immediate, international investigation into the flotilla assault, full accountability for those responsible, and the lifting of the Gaza blockade.

Join me in signing at this link:

Peace Eric,

I know you are a righteous person. I just wonder what most Christians would think of your 'anti-Israeli' attitude, because from my understanding Israel can do no wrong according to Christians.
 
Thank you for the link, Eric.
I have signed it and posted up on FB.
 
Argamemnon, there are many Christians who speak out against the blockage of Gaza and who lobby for Palestine. People demonstrating for the rights of people in Palestine are by no means only Muslims!

I just read that the Pope denounced Israel's actions today too.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend. I don't have that much knowledge on Christianity and particularly the different denominations.. I must thoroughly educate myself on this issue..

You are right, there are millions of Christians in the Middle East; mainly in Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and Palestine; about 10% of the population..

Update, 2 June: The petition reached 200,000 in less than 24 hours and has had its first delivery! Now a UN body has approved an international investigation, and Egypt has opened its border with Gaza. But there’s still a long road to accountability, and Israel's blockade continues -- let's keep up the pressure!

This is to do with justice, and not religion, I would become a hypocrite, if I only wanted justice for Christians.

Greetings, Eric. It is always nice to see your smiling face! (Well, I imagine it being smiling ... :))

It has to be said though that Argamemnon is not wrong. Many Christians (perhaps more in the US??) seem to side very strongly with Israel. Either because they see Jews as their 'spiritual cousins', or because they see Israel as part of God's prophecy to his people and therefore want to see it protected?
To be honest, I have never quite understood the reasons fully ... :hmm:

Like you say, I see it as a question of human rights and human treating their fellow humans with kindness, care and charity. I don't see Israel treating Gaza in such a way, and that's wrong.
You are right, it's not about politics or about religion - it's about humanity!
 
Greetings and peace be with you glo,

I understand that the Israeli Nation are the chosen people of God, but in the Jewish scriptures, which is also our Old Testament, we find such verses as……..

Exodus 22:21
"Do not mistreat an alien or oppress him, for you were aliens in Egypt.

Leviticus 19:10
Do not go over your vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and the alien. I am the LORD your God.


Leviticus 19
33 " 'When an alien lives with you in your land, do not mistreat him. 34 The alien living with you must be treated as one of your native-born. Love him as yourself, for you were aliens in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.


In the spirit of praying for justice for all people,

Eric
